This executable menu is used to improve the sensitivity and reliability of the
Media Sensors in detecting gaps, notches, holes, or black marks on the
installed media, as well as a paper out condition. The operation is successful
when the Sensed Distance displayed correctly matches that of the installed
media.
For Gap: The Sensed Distance should match the length from the trailing
edge of one gap to the trailing edge of the next gap (one label + one gap).
For Mark: The Sensed Distance should match the length from the leading
edge of one black mark to the leading edge of the next black mark.
IMPORTANT
This value represents the distance that was sensed between the TOF of one
label to the TOF of the next label upon successful calibration. It is a read-only
value.
Gapped media: the distance equals the physical label length plus one gap,
notch, or hole (trailing edge of one gap, notch, or hole to the trailing edge of
the next gap, notch, or hole).
Black mark media: the distance equals the leading edge of one black mark to
the leading edge of the next.

Sensors > Control > Auto Calibrate
Prior to running Auto Calibrate you must enter the
length of the installed media via the Media > Image
> Label Length menus. Selecting the correct Label
Length forces Auto Calibrate to increase media
advancement for long labels (to detect actual
gaps, notches, or marks) and decrease
advancement for short labels.
Auto Calibrate supports label lengths up to 35
inches.
